Phase 2
Completed
Conditions

Interventions
Drug: TEZ
Drug: IVA
Drug: Matched Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02951182
Lead Sponsor
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated
Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of VX-440 in dual and triple combination with tezacaftor (TEZ; VX-661) and ivacaftor (IVA; VX-770) in subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (F508del/F508del), or who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function (MF) CFTR mutation not likely to respond to TEZ and/or IVA therapy (F508del/MF).

Inclusion Criteria
  • Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, study restrictions, laboratory tests, contraceptive guidelines, and other study procedures.

  • To prevent pregnancy, female participants of childbearing potential and their male partners will be required to use pre-specified, highly effective methods of non-hormonal contraception. Male participants with female partners of childbearing potential will be required to use a condom.

  • Body weight ≥35 kg.

  • Sweat chloride value ≥60 mmol/L from test results obtained during screening.

  • Subjects must have an FEV1 ≥40% and ≤90% of predicted normal for age, sex, and height at the Screening Visit

  • Stable CF disease as judged by the investigator.

  • Willing to remain on a stable CF medication regimen through the planned end of treatment or, if applicable, the Safety Follow up Visit.

Exclusion Criteria
  • History of any comorbidity that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the subject.
  • History of cirrhosis with portal hypertension.
  • Risk factors for Torsade de Pointes
  • History of hemolysis.
  • Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency assessed at Screening.

  • Lung infection with organisms associated with a more rapid decline in pulmonary status
  • An acute illness not related to CF within 14 days before the first dose of study drug
  • A standard digital ECG demonstrating QTc >450 msec at screening.
  • History of solid organ or hematological transplantation.
  • History or evidence of cataract or lens opacity determined to be clinically significant by the ophthalmologist or optometrist based on the ophthalmologic examination during the Screening Period.
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse in the past year, including but not limited to, cannabis, cocaine, and opiates, as deemed by the investigator.
  • Ongoing or prior participation in an investigational drug study, with certain exceptions. (e.g., ongoing participation in NCT02565914)
  • Use of commercially available CFTR modulator (e.g., Kalydeco, Orkambi) within 14 days before screening (applies only to the Heterozygous F508del/MF cohorts; does not apply to the Homozygous F508del/F508del Cohort).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)From first dose of Study Drug in the Treatment Period through Safety Follow-up Visit (Up to Day 57 for Part 1 and Day 85 for Part 2)
Absolute Change in Percent Predicted Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (ppFEV1)From Baseline through Day 29

FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Absolute Change in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) Respiratory Domain ScoreFrom Baseline at Day 29

The CFQ-R is a validated participant-reported outcome measuring health-related quality of life for participants with cystic fibrosis. Respiratory domain assessed respiratory symptoms, score range: 0-100; higher scores indicating fewer symptoms and better health-related quality of life.

Pre-dose Plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of VX-440, TEZ, M1-TEZ, IVA and M1-IVAPredose at Day 8, Day 15 and Day 29
Relative Change in ppFEV1From Baseline through Day 29

FEV1 is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out in one second, after full inspiration.

Absolute Change in Sweat Chloride ConcentrationsFrom Baseline through Day 29

Sweat samples were collected using an approved collection device.
